Is this collar too girly??

[Dreeza]

Here is the description:

This is a crinkled taffeta embroidered with dots in shades of gold, bronze, and brown. The taffeta itself is brown with coppery undertones that show up in the crinkles when the light hits it.

Please don't judge this collar by the picture, it is truly stunning in person, each color is ultra rich and the pattern is sophisticated with a twist.


Oh, & I really want it to be 1.5 inches...I kinda want 2", but that might be just too big for him. It comes to ~ $25...so if ya know somewhere else that makes thick collars for smaller dogs (for that price or less), please direct me!

I think the metallic would look neat against Oakley's coat.

I do not think it's too girly at all! I think it would stunning on Oakley

Sorry gotta say even though it's metallic and awesome, dots make me think of girlyness.

 

[Gguevara]

Looks mega girly to me lol.

 

[MicksMom]

Looks girly to me, too. But then again, anything other than simple, solid colors look girly to me.

I think it looks very nice, it would suit your dog well IMO

 

[Lolas Dad]

I voted girly. Had it of been gray with dog bones than it would be manly.

 

[bubbatd]

Girly to me too , but then I lean towards natural leathers . Very pretty though !

It's girly but you know what? The dog doesn't care what the collar looks like, it all depends on you.

ruckus wears girly collars, so its okay!

the dog doesnt care! I vote get it!

I'm not too sure how brown would look on a black dog, but other than that, I bet it would rock on him. That being said, I also know that you can get nice collars like that for a lot less at Trendy Hounds - Kes' 1.5" Sock Monkey martingale was $15 there.

I don't think its too girly - and really, who cares?!

I'd go for 1.5". At most. I can't stand the look of collars that are too thick on dogs. Makes them look like they are in a neckbrace to me.

The polka dots add a touch of girlyness, but who cares I've seen male dogs with purple/pink collars and leashes, so I think Oakley can have some polka dots. I don't think anyone would notice it either, the polka dots aren't obnoxious at all.

I don't think it's that girly.

I think it's beautiful and only kinda girly. BUT at this exact moment my sister's 140 pound male St. Bernard mutt is wearing a collar with little pink hearts on it....lol. So in other words - go for it!

I think it depends on the dog.
I put Ella in wider collars, and she can pull them off because she has a long neck.
Now, I wouldn't put a pug in a wide collar because it WOULD look like it's wearing a neck brace.

I really like it. I don't think it's girly at all.

Exactly my thoughts!! See, one of the mega-cool things about dogs is that they are so blissfully free of the hang-ups of us humans.

hehe, thanks for all the responses!!!

Of course I kept looking & now I found another one that I like...dangit. I can't decide...

My bf shot down the other (even though I think its manlier...its a red bandanna pattern)...grrr! I can't afford both (well...technically I can cause my student loans came in, but I REALLY shouldnt LOL)
